How to Check Your IP Address (and Hide It)
Find out what your public IP reveals about you — and how to hide it in one tap.
Your public IP address is visible to every site you visit. Here's how to see it and hide it.
How to check your IP
Search "what is my IP" in any browser, or visit an IP‑check site. It will show your public IP and an approximate location based on it.
What your IP reveals
- Your approximate location (city/region).
- Your internet provider.
- A handle that can be used to track you across sites.
How to hide it
Connect to a VPN. Sites will then see the VPN server's IP, not yours — and your location and provider are masked. With VPN Panda it's one tap. Download free.
FAQ
Q: Does my IP change on its own? A: Often yes — many providers rotate IPs. But it always still points to your provider and area unless you use a VPN.
Q: Will a VPN change the location sites see? A: Yes — they'll see the location of the server you connect to.
